The WebIssues Client Manual
Desktop client for the WebIssues system

Appendix B. Command Line Options

The WebIssues Client supports several command line options for overriding default paths and file locations:

-config FILE

Location of the main configuration file where program settings are stored.

-data DIR

Location of the directory where configuration files for individual servers are stored (containing column settings, filters and watches).

-cache DIR

Location of the directory where cache files are stored (including states of watched issues and cache of folder contents).

-storage DIR

Location of the directory where temporary files are stored (including attachments cache).

On Linux, the default location of the configuration file is usually ~/.config/WebIssues/WebIssues.conf. The default location of the data directory is usually ~/.local/share/webissues and the default location of the cache and storage directories is usually ~/.cache/webissues. Locations of these directories can also be overridden by the XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variables, respectively.

On Windows, program settings are stored in the Registry by default. The default location of the data directory is the current user's application data (usually C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\WebIssues). The default location of the cache and storage directories is the current user's local application data (usually C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\WebIssues).

In addition WebIssues Client supports command line options common for all Qt applications. See the Qt documentation for more details.
